The phone rang. "Come quickly."
I held her in my arms. I looked at her sweet face, calmed by morphine. Everything was slowing down. It was time.
"Daddy isn't here yet. Please hold on."
"Honey, if you need to go now, it's OK."
One arm around my son and one holding her.
She was gone.

Post a CommentIf only there were words to say what a mother feels at a moment like that, but there is nothing. I'm so very sorry for the loss of your daughter.
I'm so sorry, Sherry, for you having lost your precious Audrey. Your 55 words brought tears to my eyes.
Sherry,
Hi honey. Came across your AC page. She was so beautiful. I am so glad she left such a legacy of love behind. You will be together one day again. Hope things are going well for you, my friend.
